They did it!

I’m amazed at the many things that arise as a parent that I must to teach my kids.  For example… No,  it is probably not a good idea to pee outside in front of the neighbors.

On that note,  I didn’t realize it would be a challenge to have kids stay in their beds at night. We had wanderers come to our bed most nights for  for several months.  So in true Chalece(bribing) style, I created a chart.  Every night they stayed in their bed the got to put a sticker on their chart.  They chose Chuck-E-Cheese as their reward for when the chart was full.  Nothing like yucky pizza to motivate.  Happy to say the trend of staying in their bed continues(most of the time).

Awesome! I feel like we've tried everything with this issue. Our boys come into our bed often at some point in the night. Maybe if I were actually consistent with the chart/reward it would work. You've encouraged me...I think we'll start again! : )
